Daemons Discuss: Podcast - Take 5! | Our TV Wish List for a Series About The All Souls Trilogy

Take 5 - The One with our Television Wish List

Description: Caution! Recorded at night (wine may or may not have been involved), so excuse the silliness! This is us just discussing our general wish list when it comes to the television production of A Discovery of Witches. We have been anticipating this for a very long time, and this discussion has taken place dozens of times, in lots of places over the years! Since we have the means this time, we recorded it! We suggest you pair your listening session with your favorite wine (or fermented beverage of choice) - you may relate to our ramblings a bit better!

SPOILER ALERT! We (The Daemons) approach this podcast with an assumption that the listener has read The All Souls Trilogy, including A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night, and The Book of Life. If you haven't, and you don't mind, we certainly don't mind! :) Let's do this.

1. Show notes:

For newcomers to the series:

- We'll start with the basics: The books in discussion are A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night and The Book of Life. Together they make The All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness.
- Our Daemon Guidesto the All Souls Trilogy are available for download: ADOW, SON, TBOL
- If you'd like a ready-reference from the author herself, be sure to download the All Souls Real-Time Reading companion (free e-book at online booksellers via Penguin and Headline books).
- Deborah Harkness usually conducts a real-time reading on her Facebook Page (starting in September), and shares her posts across social media. Check out her website for all of her social media links, and of course all that she has to offer her readers!
- To see what's available on the web as far as the All Souls universe fandom, check our links page.

* Scenes we don't want cut! (14:30)
• Microcosm scene (in the forest in Madison, NY)
• Matthew on the Bridge of Sighs (the STALKING)
• Baldwin chapters (from #TeamBaldwin, Angela and Jean)
• The breakfast scene
• Dinner at All Souls (Matthew's place)
• Dancing at Sept-Tours
• Witch Water Scene
• Baldwin's speech on the Knights of Lazarus
• Ledger scene (when Diana snoops in Matthew's study.)
• The "fireworks" in the bedroom in Madison
• Scenes at the house starring The House

* We are probably losing the yoga scene (17:36): news of this came from Deborah Harkness

Escala - Christian Grey's building (08:19)

* Angela mentioned (21:19) Henry V - Agincourt/St Crispin's Day speech referring to Baldwin's speech, implying that maybe that it's not as weighty (in that context), but important all the same.
* Disclaimer on casting: (26:21) - we do run a fan cast website ... but we are open to understudies!

* Quote from Jean towards the end of the episode (52:16) "I'm out of wine! I'm in the closet and I am out of wine!" ...we were laughing so hard, so it may have been hard to catch it. It's definitely one for an eventual blooper reel! P.S. Jean's recording studio is located in her closet ... it doesn't echo!

Jeff Greenstein: "When
Marta & David & Jeff & I did 'Dream On', we used to spend a
lot of time thinking about titles, because they were on-screen at the
top of each episode. On "Friends", we decided that was a waste of time.
We figured, why not name each episode after the thing that people will
ostensibly be talking about around the water-cooler the next day?"
